I'm blind, well not totally...Its a joke we who wear glasses say when we are not wearing glasses. "Where's my eyes"? I also ask my wonderful wife when I cant find my glasses. It goes something like. " "Where's my eyes sweetheart"?.... "I'm blind"!. WHAM I slam my toe into that damn blanket box by the foot of the bed or, YIPE! Goes the Chihuahua as she's stepped on or tripped over. The dumb one that is. The smart one see's I'm not wearing my glasses and hides in his box.... As I'm writing this I have no idea where I'm going with it..... In any case for both conditions Dr Gifford has a cure. Not the broken toe or the pissed off Chihuahua, they are so cute when their mad...No I mean my poor vision and the fact that I constantly took my old set of glasses off when I got home because of the pain they caused after a long day. They were trifocal which I found out I didn't need. They were rimless which I also found out made them uncomfortable and they were heavy because they were cheap. Not to buy, I see now I was overcharged, but from a manufacturing point. They were not worth what I paid at the "other" place. I'm not going to talk bad about the "other" place in town that sold them to me and prescribed a rather strenuous prescription. All I will say is that I wish I had gone to Dr Gifford and his team first. I had a full examination. Very much relaxed and unhurried. Dr G helped me understand how the Lab he uses designs the lenses which is very technical and seemed cutting edge. I have to say upon wearing them now as I write this, the way my eye's feel, and "seeablity" of these is remarkable. They are light weight frames , the lenses are thinner because of the different way they manufacture them and they are smaller but the sight picture seems large enough to me. Very comfortable and about $200 less than the other places 10 pound goggles I was wearing. (They will make great ant killers for my grandaughter.) I don't give many 5 stars but Dr G and his team are really as good as it gets. I also got freebee's. I wont tell you what because they may not like you as much as they like me, and you wont get any....Dr G and associates you are the best....my Chihuahua's thank you! read more
